My brother told me that if I keep dressing the way I do and cutting my hair short I'm going to look like a man. I hope so. Maybe, if people think I'm a man, no one will tell me I can't listen to Van Halen because "it's guy music". Maybe, if people think I'm a man, they won't think I'm the antichrist when I kiss my girlfriend. Maybe if people think I'm a man, they won't expect me to shave my legs and arms and every other area with "unsightly hair". Maybe if people think I'm a man, my teacher will not tell me to make sure I marry someone who can support my family and will start telling me how to ******* support my family. Maybe if people think I'm a man they won't get angry at me when I refuse to send pornographic photos of my body. Maybe if people think I'm a man I will be able to walk home at night without pepper spray on my keychain in case I look too "provocative". Maybe if people think I'm a man I will finally get treated with some ******* respect.
